   This setting is defined in the QMC on each node that is added, and the effects are as follows:

   • Development: this server is intended to allow users to create apps but not serve the normal user traffic for users consuming published apps. In this case, the create and edit capabilities are enabled, but the server will not be considered when load balancing user traffic.

   • Both: this setting allows both activities to occur on the node. This means that both normal user traffic is handled and users can create apps.
